Border: When the Justice Department sued Arizona Tuesday for the grievous crime of protecting its border, it did more than just signal a softer policy on immigration. It also put our national security at risk.
'A state may not establish its own immigration policy or enforce state laws in a manner that interferes with the federal immigration laws," the U.S. wrote in its complaint. But Arizona isn't "interfering" at all. It's just doing what should be Uncle Sam's job — protecting our border.
Arizona should get a presidential commendation, not a lawsuit. It's bad enough that bankrupt U.S. states have found their budgets hemorrhaging red ink due to the costs associated with runaway illegal immigration, as a number of recent reports show.
That in itself is enough for us to limit the illegal flood. But there's a greater, often overlooked reason: terrorism.
IBD has reported a number of times on the efforts of Islamic terrorists to infiltrate the U.S. through its porous southern (and occasionally northern) border. The U.S. has become an easy target.
Just this week, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported that Mexico's security forces had broken up an attempt by Hezbollah operative Jameel Nasr to set up a terrorist network in South America, using Mexican nationals with family ties to Lebanon to do the job.

PLEASE HELP FUND ARIZONA’S DEFENSE OF SB 1070 AGAINST OBAMA’S PENDING LAWSUIT
What a maroon!
We have to get the 96% black support for Obama down to reasonable numbers for the good of the nation and all our citizens - of all skin color and backgrounds.
This crazy division is unhealthy for our nation.
“If a Hezbollah operative crosses the Arizona border and detonates a bomb that kills American citizens, the blood won’t be on Arizona’s hands, but on the Justice Department’s.”
“.....the blood won’t be on Arizona’s hands, but on the Justice Department’s.”
Obama’s hands actually, but he’ll dodge it won’t he as the buck never stops with him.
Somehow it’ll be Bush’s fault.
Obama the usurper, an alien of Kenyan blood, must be removed from office before he destroys the United States of of America.
How in God’s name did this Marxist fraud ever eget into the White House.
ping, ya grouch (giggle)
King George is making an example of one of his Colonies.
Pray for AZ
Obama’s suing Arizona and taking the side of the illegals needs to be used as a wedge issue to try to pry some black support from him. Illegals are hurting all of America’s working class, but worse for blacks who have much larger unemployment numbers than whites, Asians and legal Hispanics.

Yes.
As I always thought, but you said it better.
And the Hispanic vote is also available to us if we emphasize
Liberty
Prosperity
A better future than Mexico for their children
Many Hispanic votes are available if we will only try ......
I believe we’re in a huge re-creation of “Blazing Saddles” and Obama the Commie is playing the part of Mel Brooks. I hope the good people are on the side of the townsfolk.
The federal government is no leading on immigration and securing the borders. The federal government is not following the lead of states that want to secure our borders or citizen groups that want to secure our borders.
So, the federal government needs to get out of the way.
I hope that some judge will find a federal official in contempt of court for not securing the borders.
